Just got this after lots of agonising as was slightly over my budget.
Now am struggling to get it to work.
I am totally untechie so any help would be just great.
I worked through tutorial yesterday & seemed ok but today basically cant get it to do anything.
For example when I am on MSE & want to write a poat using dragon I should just need to say type text to be able to get it write my post but no joy.
Any ideas?

Have you got the recording and playback set up and working properly? Without that you can't do anything. And have you completed the training stages? It won't understand your speech straight out of the box.
What OS are you using, and what web browser? As far as I know it will support IE8, and Firefox 3-not sure about other browsers.
I suggest you try it with a known supported application like MS Word first.No free lunch, and no free laptop

Go to the main menu in IE, click on 'About Internet Explorer', it will tell you the version-you should be on IE8. 10.1 will support IE8.
Bit difficult to offer any advice, as you just say 'today it won't do anything'.
Have you tried just closing it and reopening?
Try the Nuance tech support pages-might be some assistance there:

I think you need to check with Nuance tech support.
As a temporary workaround, you could just keep a Star Office window open, compose in that and then just cut and paste into your browser for MSE.No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
